A Cure for Dipsomania.

Two men having been sentenced to
months imprisonment for being drunk
and disorderly, medical practitioner OBJ
tanned the permission of the authorities
to try upon them a new method of treat
ment. They were removed to special
quarters and informed that all their food
would be dressed as they might prefer,
either with wine, gin, or any kind of
spirituous liquors. Our tOpers accepted
the proposal with the greatest delight,
and nearly came to blows over the choice
of the liquid. The figst day everything
passed off WE'LL and ample justice was
done to the viands. The second day there
was slight falling off in their enthusf-
asm, still they ate with good appetite.
The third day they took very little, and
began to think that alcohol was all very
well in it's way, but that there were linn
it's. The fourth day they de-
clined all nourishment. The fifth day
they took solemn oath to starve sooner
than touch the sickening diet. But the
doctor was firm, and, impelled by hunger,
after three days fast, they consented to
eat the only food that was offered to
them. At the months end the fellows
were liberated. They were perfectly
cured, for ever since the very smell of
wine or spirits would cause them to faint.

Hygienio Treatment of Disease.

A great advantage in the hygienic treat
20 emit of disease is that it does not, or at
least need not, interfere with sound and
vperience proved modes OF treatment of
+ medicinal kind. The scientific physi-
an finds, i'll fact, that there is always a
nsistent plan for combining the medic
NAL and hygienic systems. He sees that
ehs two systems are one; he sees, further,
y at the mere medicinal plan without the
gienic is in all cases imperfect and in
s1me cases worse than imperfect. The
actical details of hygienic medicine in
citation to the treatment of disease have,
However, yet to be wrought out more
lilly. This will be sure work, but neces-
s8rily slow, because it is hard to give up
old friendships in dogmatisIn, while to
ect cure in sick man by fresh air
alone, or diet, is infinitely less satisfac-
Tory to the public than to assume to
erect the same cure even by bread pill.

Reports of Newspaper Circulation.

There is no public faith in the accuracy
Of the daily reports of newspaper circula-
tion which have been published in many
journals. Even when sworn to they are
not believed, for the reason that they
may be honestly sworn to and yet be
largely false. Amy number of papers
may be printed and distributed and
sworn to as circulation; but how many
are returned? how many are not sent to
BONA fide readers? If the cash payments
for circulation were honestly sworn to,
the honest circulation would be reached;
but no newspaper has ever attempted
that only honest test of bona fide readers.
urchases\ by political committees; spe-
al sales to- advertisers, which are often
lade at nominal prices to give the ap-
gearance of circulation; specimen papers
sent free through canvaSSers or by mail
to introduce the paper bear no relation to
bona fide newspaper circulation, and
journals which specially force and boost
circulation always withhold from their
public figures the large percentage of
papers not read or paid for.-Philadel-

BUILDING THE ANDES RAILROAD.

A Quarter of a Billion Expended and
Nearly 1000 Lives Sacrificed.
The railroad was begun by Mr.. Me1gs
I'm 1870. Starting from the sea, it ascends
the narrow valley of the once sacred
Rimac, rising 5000 feet in the first 40
miles to a beautiful valley, where the
DeoDle of Lima have found an attractive
s.1mIner resort: then it follows wind
ing, giddy pathway along the edge or
precipices and over bridges that seem
suspended in the air. tunnels the Andes at
an altitude 156 45 feet-the most elevated
spot in the world where piston rod Is
moved bv steam-and ends at Orova
12.17S feet above the sea. Between
the coast and the summit there is not an
inch of down grade, and the track has
been forced through the mountains by
series of 60 tunnels, whose aggregate
length is 81, 900 feet. The great tunnel
of Galeria, by which the pinnacle OF the
Andes is pierced, will be, when com
Dleted, 8, 300 feet long, anG Will be the
highest elevation on the earth's surface
where any such work has been under
taken. Besides boring the mountains OF
granite and blasting the clefts along the
sides to rest the track upon, steep cut
tincs and superb bridges, the system OF
reverse tangents had to be adopted IN
CANYONS that were too narrow for curve
So the track zigzags up the mountain
side. on the switch and back-up principle,
the trains taking one leap forward, and
after being switched on TO another track
another leap backward, until the summit
is won; so that often there are four and
five lines of track parallel to each other,
one above another, ON the mountain side
1t is estimated that the construction OF
the road cost Peru Z 900 lives from pes

are not accustomed to the raw air OF the
high altitudes-fevers caused by deposits
of rotten granite, and other causes, re
suited in a frightful mortality during the
seven years the road was under construc-
ton, but the project was pushed on until
the funds gave out. The COST II human
life was no obstacle.
1t takes power of steam to ascend this
road with its average grade of 4 per cent,
but in coming down the boilers are al
lowed to cool, and only steam enough is
kept to hold the brakes and blow the
whistle We came down part way in O
hand car at the rate of a mile in two
minutes and it was as exciting a ride as
one can imagine.
The completion of the line to the MIN
inc regions will cost $4,000, 900, but the
portion of the line already constructed
and in operation, with all its rolling
stock, station houses and equipments OF
every sort. Mr.. Grace. gets for practically
nothing, as under the conditions OF a

property during the remainder OF the
term.-New York Mail and Express.

Preserving Their FarniI, Names.

There Lave of late been frequent allus-
ions in thesa1ewspapers to the propriety OF
married women preserving their family
names as middle names. There has been
quite general expression favorable to
their doing So and the fact that the
presidents wife signs her name Frances
Folsom Cleveland, and Mrs. Ulysses
Grant, Sr. General Grants widow,
signs hers "Julia Dent Grant," and
her sons wife, Mrs. Fred Grant,
signs hers ida HOnore Grant," is
quoted to give their examples as
further argument in favor of the
practice. But this, it seems, is far from
being wholly a matter of fashion, as many
women seem to suppose. 1t has legal
side; and real estate agent in Wash
ington, who has lately suffered much
from the results of the whims of some of
his feminine clients in changing their
names at will, without taking any steps
to legalize the changes, and yet affixing
the revised names to deeds of sale of real
estate, has been commenting with some
severity upon the practice.-W ashington

Letter Boxes of TORONTO.

The pillar boxes of Toronto differ from
any have ever had the pleasure of drop
ping letter into They are square Into
the pillar the postman places square,
locked box of stiff leather. The postman
makes his rounds with a one horse wagon
which is filled with these leathrn boxes.
The wagon rs always full All the boxes
are empty when it starts out and these
are replaced one by one with full boxes
taken from the pillars. The boxes are
unlocked at the postofTice and the letters
are therefore never handled by the post
man nor do they run the risk Of loss or
of getting wet as the postman scoops
them out at the street cOrner.--Luke

A whaling Episode.

The Captain of the whaling bark Lydia
reported, when here on Saturday, that
on the 10th instant, while off the coast
of Hawaii, large sperm whale was
harpooned, but the line parted. The
four boats remained in the vicinity to
watch for the reappearance OF the whale,
when it suddenly rose directly beneath
the Chief Officers boat, which was
smashed to pieces. The occupants were
picked up by the other boats, and the
whale with the line was finally lost
sight of. Although the Lydia cruised
round the spot for four days no trace OF
it could be found.

soldiers in Centra1 America.

The Honduras consul at New York
says that in his country it does not make
a man general merely to have been in
command of some forces. To be made
general he must have commanded in bat
ties where he was under fire. Fighting
in Central America is as dangerous as
elsewhere, but the list of the casualties
is not long, because the number of COM
batants is not great. A fight where
twenty men are killed is called battle
The loss of twenty fighting men means
a great deal to a Central American army,
which is not so large as half of a United
States regiment. A fight is pleasure to
a Central American. He goes into it
with joy and he comes out with exulta-
ton. They are not pugnacious people,
nor are fist fights frequent. To join an
expedition is their dissipation. They grid
on their clothes, shoulder their muskets,
roll their cigarettes, and run along with
an expedition as if it was a show.-Chi-
